Just keep your bike and be happy. I would never go back to what my '08 was after having the V4. Honda is going to have to step up their game. Money isn't the biggest factor for me, I want to love what I ride.

Quite happy with my bike. Wouldn't trade it straight up for that overpriced "german" crap.

Really? No slipper clutch? WTF? And forget about getting a V4 liter bike from Honda. And what about TC, launch, and wheelie control? Not likely from the sources I have even though all of that stuff actually makes the bike safer to ride. It is good enough for their race bikes but F the public. At least BMW, Kawi, and Yamaha are trying to actually bring their race technology to street bikes. The three aforementioned companies understand that a good number of folks take their sport bikes to the track and expect them to be pretty much track ready. Honda...? Who knows? In superstock trim the CBR1000RR is a good race bike but to get it competitive in the superbike world takes a lot of cash and some stuff the factories just won't give you unless they are sponsoring you.

I am with you on looking at my next bike purchase. Since I only race now I will be looking at what bike to get as a race bike and right now Honda isn't high on my list.

The original owner of my Blade put around 50K$ in it to get it superbike competitive. I picked it up almost unused for a little less than a new BMW, but with the spares I needed for the RR. Haven't tried the BMW, but a Blade superbike handles like a Dream. Haven't regretted it one second...
